There are three sinks in the restroom here. Two of them have low flow attachments that reduce the water to a light drizzle. One does not. I don't know if nobody uses the low flow sinks, but the drains on those sinks are consistently dry while the regular flow sink is always damp. "Green" office protocol only goes so far as the first irritation, apparently.

The operations manager showed up at my desk afternoon, and pointed out that I had both a Starbucks "frappuccino" and a Mountain Dew both open on my desk next to my Nalgene bottle. He asked, "So you have trouble staying awake?" "Not anymore!" I replied cheerily. "And Tums, too," he observed. "Yep, that's to feed the coffee."

I can see the WBAL and WBFF towers on Television Hill from from my new cube. They're probably about nine or ten miles away, but from the ninth floor they stick out over the horizon about a half a degree or so. The view and the sunsets are very nice from this angle. Next week I will try to key up K3CUJ 70cm from my HT and see how I do.

When the heat is too high in the office, my big headphones feel like they are suffocating me, but my little ear-buds don't reach to the port on my computer. Tonight I will pack an audio extension cable and solve my comfort problems in the near term.

The kitten was especially cuddly last night. Sometimes I really enjoy winter.
